ETA: Here is the teachers' wish list!
The junior/senior high school hasn't been able to purchase anything since the '90s, and the library, currently being revamped, needs
. . . racially diverse books. We need graphic novels. We need women’s studies. We need science. We need series. We need film. We need comics. We need music. We need biographies of important people. Looking for Young Adult. Classics. We want zines! Contemporary. Poetry. Everything that would make a difference in a young person’s life. Writers send us YOUR BOOK. We have many non-readers who we’d love to turn on to reading. We need a way to take this tiny area and bring it into the 21st century.
If you have a book, a CD, or a DVD to spare, please donate it to
Greenville High School/Indian Valley Academy
Library Project Attn: Margaret Garcia
117 Grand Street
Greenville, CA 95947
Nota bene: If you send anything during July when the school is closed, please send your materials to
Library Project/Margaret Garcia
PO Box 585
Greenville, CA 95947
I will link to the teachers' wishlist when I receive it, but any age-appropriate book would be welcome. I can't imagine what a teenhood without a lot of books must be like; let's help make such deprivation a memory for the students of Greenville High School/Indian Valley Academy!
P.S. If you don't want to support Amazon, you can contact Dawn at Books & Beyond, one of only two "local" bookstores near the school, to order books (at a 20% discount) for the Library Project!
